Amazing story this - rocks up to pre-season at the Mulgrave football club (EFL Div 2) last summer just asking for a 'kick' - wins the Best and Fairest in the seniors and now apparently has AFL clubs looking at him. Is also in the AFL Victoria Young Guns Squad playing this weekend which is also evidence that he is a genuine chance of being drafted. Tallish midfielder at 190cm? - Gotta love these stories for young humble footballers. Can anyone shed some light on the kid or have heard anything in regards to which clubs are looking at him?

I know Tim. He has played footy at school and at local junior level but was having a crack at baseball and getting a U.S College scholarship. Not sure how that ended up but he clearly didn't go.
He is a mega talented sportsman and it is no surprise that once he committed to footy he really came on. I would think a rookie spot and a year spent at VFL level to continue his development would be the way to go at this stage.
He is at an awkward height at 190cm. At local level that is ruckman/CHF height, but at AFL level that is tall onballer.
Personally he is a great kid, strong character and have no doubt that he would do everything to make it.
